The observatory asks that you please include the following acknowledgement in papers that use LMT data:

The operation of the LMT is currently funded by CONAHCYT grant #297324 and NSF grant #2034318. "
For publications based on LMT observations, including archival data, we request that authors also include the scientific project ID (e.g. 2023-S1-MX-46) as in the following statement:
" The data described in this paper include LMT observations conducted under the scientific program YEAR-SEMESTER-COUNTRY-NUMBER (see example above). The authors acknowledge the scientific and technical support of the LMT staff during the observations and generation of data products provided to the authors. "
